ok ... yes its true ... the asc-tools do do the job well ... provided
you have the resources to run them ... same resources as windoze 3x
... also in the file-set are the unix tools 'sed' and 'tr' which
are capable of large feats of magic in their own right
(do you have the 'man' pages for those two? ... i can send if not)

ok then ... what i'll do is ... activate a download page on my website
featuring the asc-tool set ...
also (hopefully) a link to Ilmari's ascflip.zip (subject to permission)

[][ Ilmari ... if you're reading this ... this is a request

so ... having tidied things a little ... i shall post a URL in a
week or so ... gives me time to check the upload etc



... and now ... for something completely different ...
